Lorenzo, Emily, and their whole team are absolutely AMAZING! Within minutes of chatting with Lorenzo on the phone almost 16 months ago, I knew I had found the wedding planner of my dreams! I was so nervous to choose a wedding planner that I had never met in person before, but I instantly felt safe in his hands and knew he would help us plan the destination wedding I had always dreamed of. From helping us choose a location to recommending a travel agency to work with during our first few meetings, I already knew I had made the best decision for our wedding (besides saying yes to my now husband!). Through our zoom calls and whatsapp messaging, they understood the type of person/bride I am and helped me choose vendors that would be a perfect fit (e.g., photographers that would make me feel comfortable and laugh throughout the day!). Emily and Lorenzo also helped me create wedding mood boards to help focus my vision and help the vendors make our dreams a reality! Every vendor and even the hotel we worked with all had amazing things to say about Lorenzo and his team and that made us feel even more confident that we were working with the best wedding planners ever! Not only did they help with choosing the perfect vendors, but they helped negotiate contracts / pricing for us. I didn’t realize I was Type A until I started to plan my wedding, but Emily stepped in and calmed every anxious thought I had during the planning process. She was so efficient and organized — helping me with spreadsheets, timelines, to do lists, and more. When my now husband and I came for our site visit after a crazy travel situation, I could not have been more excited to have Emily with us at the hotel to ask all the right questions, take detailed notes/photos/videos, emoji-filled tasting reviews, and start envisioning all of the wedding day details! She helped us think of small details like custom bar napkins and foam light up sticks that our guests are still talking about. During the last couple of months leading up to wedding day, the Pride Maya Wedding team worked directly with the hotel coordinator and all of the vendors to create timelines, ensure everyone had security access and all necessary equipment/etc, and confirmed everything. Even when it was hard to get ahold of our officiant in the months leading up to the wedding, Emily picked up the phone and called herself — with Lorenzo and Emily reassuring me that it would all work out (and it seriously did!).

When it came to actual wedding day, my maid of honor told me that she was nervous herself because I wasn’t anxious or nervous at all— but it’s because I knew I was in great hands with Emily, Lorenzo, and the whole team! The day went by in a blur of smiles/laughter/dancing/happiness, and I never had to worry or even think about a single thing. Emily, Lorenzo, and Gustavo kept everything moving on time and without a hitch! My husband and I are constantly hearing from friends and family that it was the best wedding ever and now even 2 weeks later are still talking about how much fun they had and how beautiful it was! I wish I could go back and relive every moment of our wedding day because it turned out more beautiful, fun, and perfect than I could have ever imagined. They created the most beautiful table settings that I am still in awe and drooling over all the photos. The only thing I am sad about post wedding is not getting to catch up with Emily and Lorenzo and hear about their own amazing travels! I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding and thats all thanks to Pride Maya Weddings!

I reached out to Pride Maya Weddings when I first got engaged to my now, husband. Lorenzo was friendly and responsive from the get-go. His team were always supportive, helpful and flexible whenever I had my bridal panics or anxiety about anything wedding related. Towards the end, I worked closely with Emily who was my ANGEL IN DISGUISE. She kept me calm the whole process and especially on my wedding day. She was very organized (I’m a very type A person so I loved/needed this) and whenever I had an emergency or forgot something she immediately calmed me down and went ahead and got it done. Truly, made my wedding day stress free. Couldn’t recommend Pride Maya and Emily, enough!

The reviews are what brought me to Pride Maya Weddings and let me start by saying, they were 100% accurate! Some people say “wedding planning is so stressful” and it can be at times, however, we had the best experience working with PMW to create our magical wedding day! Lorenzo was the first contact and due to the wedding season schedule, we were placed in the hands of Emily. I have never been so pleased with a process than we were with her! She fully executed every detail of what was envisioned! After many emails, Zoom calls, and an in-person visit pre-wedding, our wedding day was AMAZING! Our pre-wedding visit was wonderful as we got to meet Lorenzo and Gustavo, as well as several of our vendors along with a visit to our venue, Villa La Joya. We want to relive that day over and over again!I could never thank them enough for everything they did to make this the most memorable day of our lives and we are forever grateful!
